Two feet off the ground..

Triathalon in Oamaru brought me down to the Beachfront!
The morning light shone on a silvery sea and I hoped I could cope with the brilliance behind this runner!

Three good things;
1. I totally applaud all those families who encouraged their youngsters to do this! I heard the cheers for individual runners and it brought tears to my eyes!
2. I’m almost glad I can’t run the way these guys can!
3. There was one solo yacht on this sparkling sea and I got that too!

Great candid shot.

Love how you have framed the action. Swim, swim; pedal, pedal; run, run ...I am exhausted just thinking about it.

[Maggiemae]

@snaphappi There were a lot of school children taking part and some were fit as a fiddle and some were really dragging at the end!

[Carys]

Great shot!

I. Do admire triatheletes;to do one sport is hard enough but to do three is amazing. Love the sparkle on the sea

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Good action capture, I'm puffed looking at it.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

There is something insane about the triathalon but the determination it must take to finish it is amazing. I'm sure this guy would love to be able to run on air like this!

[Maggiemae]

@olivetreeann You wouldn't run would you, Ann - you would just skate - on air!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@maggiemae LOL Maggie- I would prefer to stand on the sides and cheer!
